The steps

1 / Defining the research question and scope

What exactly do you want to learn about whom and when? I help you narrow it down to a clearly formulated and manageable research question.

2 / Choosing appropriate measures and measuring instruments

Together, we design your research approach in such a way that you reach the right people and measure the right things. Based on the scientific literature, but tailored to your needs.

3 / Data collection

Perhaps you already have data, or perhaps we will collect new data through surveys, interviews or focus groups. Possibly supplemented with external benchmarks or public data.

4 / Data processing

I tidy up the data by cleaning, aggregating and transforming it. I merge different data sources to make one accessible file. I pivot the data so you have everything in the right rows and columns.

5 / Data analysis and statistics

With tidy data, we can make simple analyses (like averages and time trends) or advanced statistical analyses (like comparing groups, finding causes and effects or making predictions).

6 / Visualization and reporting

I help you to effectively communicate your newly gained insights through crystal-clear figures and reports.
